⛓ Stack these — 18 achievements in 9 runs

A lot of this list is single-run conditions that don’t conflict with each other, so you can earn several at once instead of replaying for each. Each plan below is one run. Achievements in a plan are marked with a ⛓ badge further down.

⛓ 1One minimalist winning run· 2 achievements

Pick any class. Decline every orb upgrade and skip every relic reward, so you finish with level 1 orbs and only your class relic.

  • ✓▢One for All — Win a run with only level 1 orbs
  • ✓▢All for One — Win a run with only your class relic

All for One is the rarest achievement in the game, so try this at a low Cruciball level. Eggstravaganza and Enthralled are also win-a-run achievements, but we have not verified whether the eggs or the vampire deal break these restrictions - attempt them in separate runs.

⛓ 2Ballista Militia fight· 2 achievements

Stall the fight and let the boss keep spawning minions until all of them are out, then kill it.

  • ✓▢A Full Sweep — Battle the Ballista Militia until all its minions have spawned
  • ✓▢Siege No More — Defeat the Ballista Militia
⛓ 3Super Sapper fight· 2 achievements

Let Sappers pile up next to the boss and detonate them instead of hitting it directly, then finish it.

  • ✓▢Minion to Winion — Deal 1000 damage to the Super Sapper in one battle by detonating adjacent Sappers
  • ✓▢Sapper Sweeper — Defeat the Super Sapper
⛓ 4Demon Wall fight· 2 achievements

Convert or destroy three dull pegs during the fight, then win.

  • ✓▢Not a Dull Wall at All — Convert or Destroy 3 dull pegs while fighting the Demon Wall
  • ✓▢All In All — Defeat the Demon Wall
⛓ 5Qaballistic Ruins fight· 2 achievements

Damage all four Ruins evenly and finish them on the same turn.

  • ✓▢Surprised the Ruins — Defeat all 4 Qaballistic Ruins in the same turn
  • ✓▢Won't Get Ruined Again — Defeat the Qaballistic Ruins
⛓ 6Pigment of Imagination fight· 2 achievements

Win without destroying any paintings.

  • ✓▢Art Connoisseur — Defeat the Pigment of Imagination without destroying any paintings
  • ✓▢Masterpieces In Pieces — Defeat the Pigment of Imagination

Nested: the clean kill also counts as the plain kill, so chase only Art Connoisseur.

⛓ 7Thesaurosus fight· 2 achievements

Collect every coin on the board before the killing blow.

  • ✓▢Master Burglar — Defeat Thesaurosus with no coins remaining in the pegboard
  • ✓▢The Treasurer Doesn't Measure Up — Vanquish Thesaurosus the Avaricious Dragon

Nested: the coin-free kill also counts as the plain kill.

⛓ 8Betsy the Leshy fight· 2 achievements

Bring the Bramball orb and get three stuck in the vines at once before winning.

  • ✓▢In a Prickle — Get three Bramballs stuck in Leshy's vines at the same time
  • ✓▢New Leshy on Life — Defeat Betsy the Leshy
⛓ 9Slime Boss fight· 2 achievements

Math Is My Passion✓ Unlocked
Deal the exact damage needed to defeat an enemy · 89.6% of players
~~30 minutes
Finish an enemy with exactly the damage it had left.

Deal the exact damage needed to defeat an enemy - overkill does not count. The easiest setup is a weak enemy on low health: check its remaining HP, then use a low-damage orb and aim for a few pegs so the shot lands on the number. Happens by accident in most early runs.

Holey Moley✓ Unlocked
Defeat Avogadro, the Mole Boss · 83.9% of players
~~1 hour
Defeat Avogadro, the Mole Boss.

Story progression. Avogadro is one of the run's bosses; reach and beat him in a normal run. Bombs and multi-hit orbs help clear his fight quickly.

It Was Not Your Time✓ Unlocked
Leave an enemy with just one health point · 83.5% of players
~~30 minutes
Leave an enemy on exactly 1 HP.

The mirror of Math Is My Passion: end a shot with an enemy on precisely one health point. Use a low-damage orb on an enemy whose HP is just above your expected damage and stop short. Often unlocks on its own while learning the game.

End Of The Slime✓ Unlocked⛓ Stack 9
Defeat the Slime Boss · 81.9% of players
~~1 hour
Defeat the Slime Boss.

Progression - beat the Slime Boss in a normal run. Watch out: Heartburn (throw a Rigged Bomb after being eaten by this boss) can only be earned in this same fight, so if you have a Rigged Bomb in hand it is worth trying here.

All In All✓ Unlocked⛓ Stack 4
Defeat the Demon Wall · 72.8% of players
~~1-2 hours
Defeat the Demon Wall.

Beat the Demon Wall boss in a run. If you can, also go for Not a Dull Wall at All in the same fight (convert or destroy 3 dull pegs while fighting it).

Siege No More✓ Unlocked⛓ Stack 2
Defeat the Ballista Militia · 71.2% of players
~~1-2 hours
Defeat the Ballista Militia.

Beat the Ballista Militia boss. The same fight is the only place to earn A Full Sweep (let all its minions spawn first), so consider doing both together - see the stack planner.

I Said Punny, Not Puny✓ Unlocked
Deal exactly one damage · 70.3% of players
~~15 minutes
Deal exactly one damage.

Land a shot that deals exactly one damage. A shot that hits a single peg with a low-damage orb, or one that barely connects, does it. Very common early on.

Spring Cleaning✓ Unlocked
Fully clear a pegboard · 63.2% of players
~~1 hour
Clear every peg on a board.

Fully clear a pegboard in a single battle. Easiest on long fights against a tanky enemy where you have time to keep shooting - multiball and piercing orbs speed it up. Do not kill the last enemy before the board is empty.

Won't Get Ruined Again✓ Unlocked⛓ Stack 5
Defeat the Qaballistic Ruins · 59.9% of players
~~1-2 hours
Defeat the Qaballistic Ruins.

Beat the Qaballistic Ruins boss. Surprised the Ruins (defeat all 4 Ruins in the same turn) is earned in this same fight.

Sapper Sweeper✓ Unlocked⛓ Stack 3
Defeat the Super Sapper · 54.1% of players
~~1-2 hours
Defeat the Super Sapper.

Beat the Super Sapper boss. Minion to Winion (deal 1000 damage to it in one battle by detonating adjacent Sappers) is earned in this same fight, so plan for both.

New Leshy on Life✓ Unlocked⛓ Stack 8
Defeat Betsy the Leshy · 52.1% of players
~~1-2 hours
Defeat Betsy the Leshy.

Beat Betsy the Leshy. In a Prickle (get three Bramballs stuck in Leshy's vines at the same time) belongs to this fight too.

Wood you kindly?✓ Unlocked
Defeat Avogadro's Tree before entering the Castle · 47.4% of players
~~1-2 hours
Defeat Avogadro's Tree before entering the Castle.

The description says to defeat Avogadro's Tree before you enter the Castle. We have not verified where or how the Tree appears on the map - check a community guide if you cannot find it.

The Treasurer Doesn't Measure Up✓ Unlocked⛓ Stack 7
Vanquish Thesaurosus the Avaricious Dragon · 45.3% of players
~~2-4 hours
Vanquish Thesaurosus the Avaricious Dragon.

Beat Thesaurosus. Master Burglar (defeat it with no coins remaining on the pegboard) is the harder variant of the same fight and grants this one on the way.

Slime After Slime✓ Unlocked
Have an orb bounce between slimed pegs 7 times without touching anything else · 42.3% of players
~~1 hour
Bounce an orb between slimed pegs 7 times.

Have one orb bounce between slimed pegs seven times without touching anything else. Slimed pegs are pegs an enemy or effect has covered in slime; the bounce chain needs to be uninterrupted, so look for tight clusters of them.

Don't Make Us Say It✓ Unlocked
Deal more than 9000 damage in one shot · 40.0% of players
~~1-2 runs
Deal more than 9000 damage in one shot.

A late-run scaling achievement: a single shot has to exceed 9000 damage. Build around damage multipliers and crits (Critical Thinking's Critsomallos Fleece is one route), then take your shot on a full board.

Is this a card game?✓ Unlocked
Collect your first monster trading card · 38.4% of players
~~1 hour
Collect your first monster trading card.

Pick up any monster trading card during a run. Cards drop as you play; this unlocks the first time you receive one.

Defeat the Pigment of Imagination · 37.6% of players
~~1-2 hours
Defeat the Pigment of Imagination.

Beat the Pigment of Imagination. Art Connoisseur (defeat it without destroying any paintings) grants this on the way, so if you are confident go straight for that.

First Come, First Served✓ Unlocked
Defeat any boss on the first turn · 34.6% of players
~~1-2 runs
Defeat any boss on the first turn.

Kill a boss before it gets a turn. You need a strong late-run build with high single-shot damage; the earlier bosses have the least health, so try it there.

Poison IV✓ Unlocked

~~1 run
Inflict 40+ Spinfection on one enemy.

Stack 40 or more Spinfection on a single target. Build around orbs and relics that apply Spinfection and keep hitting the same enemy instead of spreading it around.
